Man of Indian origin who rammed truck near White House in 2023 pleads guilty

A 20-year-old Indian-origin man in the United States has pleaded guilty to crashing a truck near the White House last May, PTI reported on Tuesday.

On Monday, US District Court Judge Dabney L Friedrich posted Sai Varshith Kandula’s sentencing for August 23.

Kandula said he rammed his truck into the security barriers near the White House as part of his plot to replace the democratic government in the United States with a dictatorship inspired by the ideology of Nazi Germany, according to a US attorney. When Kandula was nabbed, he told the authorities that he wanted to kill United States President Joe Biden.
